The Coin Series Box Set

The Coin Series Box Set
by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra
Genre: Romantic Thriller

The thrilling, complete story of Gabriela Martinez and Richard Harrison,

as they try to keep one step ahead from madmen who are trying to kill them.

THE COIN (Book One)

A coin found, a terrible secret, and a psychopath who will stop at

nothing to keep that secret safe.

When Gabriela Martinez finds a French coin on one of her outings, she

never thought the possession of it could get her killed. Only Richard

Harrison, the intelligence operative sent to protect her, can save

her from this madman, who will do everything to silence Gabriela. And

when the psychological games to terrorize Gabriela escalate, Richard

must find a solution, or it may be too late for both their lives and

their love.

Set in the exotic French Riviera, The Coin is a story of hatred,

betrayal, love and duty–terrible and painful choices that,

nonetheless, bring about personal triumph.

 

THE BOOK OF HOURS (Book 2)

– For Gabriela Martinez, psychopaths do hit twice.

Four years ago, when Gabriela Martinez almost lost her life to a

sociopath’s twisted vision, she never thought she’d be hunted again.

After catching a glimpse of Gabriela’s new work, The Book of Hours, Arnold

Wickeham has been like a man possessed. Now, he will do anything to

claim it, and no one, especially not Gabriela, will stand in his way.

Now that her life is being threatened once more, Richard Harrison will

risk everything, not only to protect her, but especially to get her

back in his life. However, the stakes are higher this time around and

there is much more to lose. Together, Gabriela and Richard must find

a way to stay one step ahead of the danger, if not, Gabriela’s life,

but especially their future together, may very well go up in flames.

Set in California and in London, The Book of Hours is a story about

greed, dangerous obsession, family duty, and, especially deserved

second chances.

“The Coin is a suspenseful, sexy, romantic thriller…a page-turner —

Kirkus Reviews”

“Dare I say that The Book of Hours may have been better than The Coin?

Along with the action, suspense, romance, and murder attempts, who

wouldn’t enjoy this book? – Books, Reviews, Links, and a Little Extra”

Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra is a romantic suspense author with a unique point

of view. Her adventure novels take place in locales across Europe and

the United States, reflecting her international upbringing and

extensive time as a global traveler. In her duology, The Coin and The

Book of Hours, her characters, Gabriela and Richard, walk the same

paths as their creator, though her life was never in so much danger.

Her short story collection, The Fish Tank: And Other Short Stories, is an

imaginative ride through various genres. One section in particular,

“Soul Songs”, delves into the gut-wrenching experience of exile

with Ms. Alonso-Sierra’s fictionalized Cuban Diaspora stories,

based on her own experience of exile.

The author’s short story, “Retribution Served”, is featured in the

anthology Book Dreams: Volume 1, and has been well received by

readers.

Ms. Alonso-Sierra’s writing career began circa age thirteen with a very

juvenile science fiction short story, but the writing bug hit, and

she has been writing, in one capacity or another, ever since. She has

worked as a professional dancer, singer, journalist, and literature

teacher in both the university and middle school levels (and not

necessarily in that order) and holds a Masters in English literature.

She loves to hear from readers and, when not writing, roams around to

discover new places to set her novels.

She is currently working on her fourth book, a Detective Nick Larson

novel, and lives in North Carolina with her husband and her dog, Amber.

Down & Dirty

Calibri, sans-serif;”>Genre: anthology, romance, erotic romance, blue collar

I’m Professor Arianna Perez, and I’ve been asked if I’ll ever trust,
let alone love, another man again.

After dumping an abusive boyfriend, I doubted I

would. At least, that’s how I felt until fate had sexy wrangler,

Kian Bishop, reappearing in my life in a way I never expected.

Against my better judgement, I fell hard for the cowboy, believing everything

he said, including how he wanted to treat me like a queen and keep me safe.

Little did I know, though, that the circumstances that’d brought us

together could also tear us apart…and possibly claim my life.

Down and Dirty Anthology
Genre: anthology, romance, erotic romance, blue collar
Featuring stories from:

Lori King, Maia Dylan, Sarah Marsh, Elena Kincaid, Cecile Tellier, London

Saint James, Bella Settara, Rose Nickol, RL Merrill, Ashley Malkin,

Lucy Felthouse, Scarlett J. Rose, Sydney Lea, CR Moss, Samantha A.

Cole, Danielle James, Ava Campbell, Eva Moore, Kimberlie L. Faye,

Sabrina Sol, Nikki Prince, and Mia Hopkins

Get in, get down…and get filthy with these sexy, hardworking,

blue-collar heroes who don’t mind when things get a little dirty

while at work or at play. This collection of 22 brand new stories

from USA Today and International Best-Selling authors is full of

scorching hot romance tales that will be sure to leave you breathless

for more. These men work hard, and play even harder.

From cops to mechanics, and miners to brewmasters, they aren’t afraid to

go all in. At the end of the day, when they find the woman who

completes them, they learn that love and life can be just as messy as

their day job…and they wouldn’t have it any other way.

Hi everyone, my name is Casey, and I write under the names C.R. Moss for

erotic and mainstream romance and Casey Moss for mainstream dark

fiction (horror, suspense, urban fantasy) and sometimes the stories

have an erotic flare to them. My professional bio for C.R.: An

eccentric and eclectic writer, C.R. Moss pens stories for the

mainstream and erotic romance markets, giving readers a choice of

sweet, savory or spicy reads, usually within a sub-genre or two —

paranormal, sci-fi/fantasy, time travel, or western flare. The bio

for my other persona: Casey Moss delves into the darker aspects of

life in her writing, sometimes basing the stories on reality,

sometimes on myth. No matter the path, her stories will take you on a

journey from the light-hearted paranormal to dark things unspeakable.

SHAYLA BLACK

Shayla Black is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of more than sixty novels. For over fifteen years, she’s written contemporary, erotic, paranormal, and historical romances via traditional, independent, foreign, and audio publishers. Her books have sold millions of copies and been published in a dozen languages.

Raised an only child, Shayla occupied herself with lots of daydreaming, much to the chagrin of her teachers. In college, she found her love for reading and realized that she could have a career publishing the stories spinning in her imagination. Though she graduated with a degree in Marketing/Advertising and embarked on a stint in corporate America to pay the bills, her heart has always been with her characters. She’s thrilled that she’s been living her dream as a full-time author for the past seven years.

Shayla currently lives in North Texas with her wonderfully supportive husband, her teenage daughter, and two very spoiled cats. In her “free” time, she enjoys reality TV, reading, and listening to an eclectic blend of music.

SIERRA CARTWRIGHT

Sierra Cartwright was born in England, and her early childhood was spent traipsing through castles and dreaming of happily-ever afters. She was raised in the Wild West and now lives in Galveston, Texas. She loves the beach and the artistic vibe of the island.

The international #1 best-selling author began writing books in elementary school, where her wonderful librarian “published” her first book, which was edited by her mum! Thankfully Mum was gentle when she told Sierra that baby was not spelled “babby.”

Sierra has one incredible daughter — her “PA Extraordinaire” and right-hand lady.

KATANA COLLINS

When Katana Collins was younger and stole her mother’s Harlequins to read beneath the covers with a flashlight, she wanted to read about the tough as nails heroine. The perfectly imperfect girl with quirks and attitude and sass. And the anti-heroes who were anything but “Prince Charming.” Forget the knight on a white horse… she wanted the bad boy on a motorcycle.

So, now, she writes those romance novels she craved to see on the shelves all those years ago—the sassy heroines. The badass heroes. Since penning her first romance novel back in 2012, she is now an international author with 15 published books and counting.

She lives in Portland, Maine, with an ever-growing brood of rescue animals: a kind of mean cat, a really doofy lab, a very mellow chihuahua, and a very not mellow cairn terrier puppy… oh yeah, there’s a husband somewhere in that mix, too. She can usually be found hunched over her laptop in a cafe, guzzling gallons of coffee, and wearing fabulous (albeit sometimes impractical) shoes.

Tricia Daniels lives in a small town in Southern Ontario, Canada, where she raised three kids as a single parent. Creativity and imagination are never in short supply in her home. Between her quick wit and wicked sense of humor, she found she has a passion for writing steamy romance novels.

Her goal is simple: tell her story, warm a few hearts, shed a few tears, share a silent chuckle, and occasionally make people blush. That’s the official version. But the simple truth is … she’s just a normal woman struggling to pay the bills while raising her children in a home where they feel empowered, supported, and loved.

KYM GROSSO

Kym Grosso is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the erotic paranormal series, The Immortals of New Orleans, and the contemporary erotic suspense series, Club Altura.

She lives in suburban Pennsylvania but has a not-so-secret desire to move to a beach in southern California where she can write while listening to the roar of the ocean. She holds a bachelor’s degree from West Chester University and a MBA from Widener University. In a previous life, she was employed as a speech therapist, a health care consultant, and a product manager for a software company. In 2012, Kym published her first novel and today, is a full time indie romance author.

One last heist.

It should’ve
been easy. Crack a safe, steal from a villain, and go on vacation. The last
thing Mack and Toshiro expect is to descend into a nightmare of betrayal.
Mack Ueda-Easton loves three things: his husband, heists, and his odd
family of friends. He lives life on the edge. The only cloud on his horizon is
the degenerative disease stealing his sight.
Toshiro Ueda-Easton tries to juggle his husband, his autistic sister,
his interfering mother, and all of their heists. He knows they’re spiraling out

What neither of them expect is to get catapulted straight into a
dangerous conspiracy. They’re now in a race to come out on top. If they fail,
the consequences are unimaginable.

Blurb

Coming back to New York to see her ailing father, Lizzie Ferguson did not expect to find him healthy and newly married to a much younger woman. She, also, didn’t expect to connect with an old lover and childhood friend or be accused of killing her father. But, life has a way of knocking you to your knees when you least expect it.

Stiles Long had always regretted that the killer, from his first case as a Pinkerton Agent, had got away. Now, in New York it was happening again. The Hotel Astor Bar was a meeting place for men who enjoyed the company of men. And, some of them were being brutally murdered. When one of the suspects from the original case appears at the hotel, Stiles is torn between his desire to stop a killer and kiss the man senseless.

Two different cases, but some of the faces overlap from one to the other. Stiles and Lizzie are in a race to discover who the killers are before another body gets added to the count.

Trailer video

Excerpt

Michael O’Leary’s presence at the bar brought Stiles back to the present. He was dressed in a charcoal suit. His slim body moved with strong

determination. As he approached the left end of the bar, he glanced across the room until his eyes saw Stiles. The sweet smile that spread across Michael’s face did funny things to Stiles insides. He quivered for a moment then smiled back, the reaction impossible to stop.

There were several younger men at the bar. One with dark curls framing an oval face. He wore a velvet evening coat the color of the night sky. Stiles had noticed him earlier but Gershon had distracted him with his departure.

“Michael,” the young man called out. “Where have you been? I haven’t seen you in ages. Why did you run out of here the other night?” He entwined his arm through Michael’s and led him to an empty space at the bar. He ordered them drinks and leaned in close to Michael to speak to him.

Stiles watched as the night wore on. Several men came and met with another man and left together. One young man stood out to Stiles. He appeared to be very nervous. His movements were stiff and not at all comfortable. Whenever someone would speak to him, he would jump and look around watching for something or possibly someone. A man several years older than Stiles approached the jumpy man and spoke to him. He noticeably relaxed as he accepted the drink he was offered, and a smile finally appeared on his face. He was very handsome and very young. Stiles estimated he was in his early twenties if that old. His face was angular and trim, not a hint of an evening beard appeared on his chin even at this late time of the day. The two were standing next to Michael and the man with the dark curls who wouldn’t let Michael out of his sight.

“Davis, I’m sorry but I am meeting someone tonight,” Stiles heard Michael say.

“What? I’m hurt Michael,” Davis answered. “How can you throw me aside like that?” He wiped at his eyes, though Stiles could see no tears.

“You’ll be just fine,” Michael said as he turned away from Davis. “Look, isn’t that Mr. Rupert over there.”

Davis looked across the room in the direction of a gray-haired man in a black suit with an emerald green tie. The pout disappeared from his face and he left Michael to join the man.

Michael approached Stiles table and bowed slightly.

“Is this seat taken?”

“No. Please sit.” Stiles motioned to the empty chair beside him.

A steward appeared asking for their drink orders and left as quickly as he had appeared.

“Davis seems quite a catch,” Stiles teased.

Michael looked down at his folded hands. There was a flush to his cheeks when he faced Stiles.

“We’ve met a few times. He’s not really interested in anything but having fun.”

The statement was leading but the steward arrived with their drinks and Stiles waited until he departed again to continue.

“What are you interested in?”

Michael circled his glass on the table with his index finger, making the ice clink. He lifted the glass and drank. Stiles watched as his Adam’s apple bobbed when he swallowed. His cock stiffened while he watched. Suddenly the room felt very warm.

“I know men like us aren’t supposed to want more than a dalliance to keep our urges at bay,” Michael sighed. “But what is wrong with wanting more.”

“More?”

“Why is it that only men who marry women have the right to a life time of companionship? Someone to celebrate with when things are good or someone to cling to when the day has been awful, is it really too much to want that?”

Stiles wasn’t sure what Michael was getting at and he really didn’t understand the idea. Was he talking about men being together as in marriage? That was impossible. Society would never accept an arrangement such as that. There were laws, even in America that would forbid it.

“I know what you are thinking, it’s against the law. But why? Why is it so wrong to want a permanent relationship? I know what I want—what I need— is against nature and God, but why is it wrong to want to be loved? Just because it’s a man’s body that I crave, a man’s touch to start my blood boiling, a man’s look of desire…” He quieted as he looked at Stiles.

Stiles could see it in Michael’s eyes. Desire burned there. Need so strong, his pupils had darkened to a forest green. He’d never seen another man look at him that way. It was more than lust and Stiles had no name for it.

He’d been half hard since the man had walked into the room, now his painfully erect cock was straining to break free from his trousers. Stiles didn’t know what Michael was talking about, but he did know that his own lust was going to overpower him soon.

This evening had not gone as planned. Now, all he could think of was getting Michael into bed and taking what he needed and what the other man clearly wanted.

“My room?” Michael choked out quietly.

They rose without taking their eyes off each other. Neither said a word as they walked from the lounge through the lobby to the elevator. Only their shoulders touched as they walked. Michael told the operator his floor and they rose slowly.

On the third floor, they walked side by side to a room half way down the right side of the hall. Michael withdrew a key from his trouser pocket and Stiles saw the bulge protruding at the front placket when Michael pushed his jacket aside. Lust raced through Stiles, hot and needy.

About the Author

CJ Baty lives in southwest Ohio with her very patient husband and two encouraging children. Her heart however, lives in the mountains of Tennessee where she hopes to retire some day. The mountains have always provided her with inspiration and a soothing balm to the stresses of everyday life.

The dream of writing her own stories started in high school but was left on the back burner of life until her son introduced her to Fan Fiction and encouraged her to give it a try. She found that her passion for telling a story was still there and writing them down to share with others was much more thrilling than she had ever expected.

One thing she has learned from life and she is often heard to say is, “You are never too old to follow your dream!”
